How to clone a git repo to an existing folder (not empty)
  1. First get to the existing directory
    $ cd my/folder/

  2. Now start a new git repository
    $ git init

  3. Identify if the current elements on the directory are needed or not and add them to the .gitignore file. When ready...
    $ vim .gitignore

  4. When ready create the first commit on the server

VSCode config to disable popular extensions' annoyances (telemetry, notifications, welcome pages, etc.)
// I'm tired of extensions that automatically:
// - show welcome pages / walkthroughs
// - show release notes
// - send telemetry
// - recommend things
//
// This disables all of that stuff.
// If you have more config, leave a comment so I can add it!!

I use this script to backup my QEMU/KVM/libVirt virtual machines. The script requires KVM 2.1+ since it uses the live blockcommit mode. This means the data in the snapshot disk is rolled back into the original instead of the other way around. Script does NOT handle spaces in paths.

exit 1
